This research project investigated in an intensive experimental program the influence of using crumb rubber in the mechanical properties and durability of Portland cement concrete mixtures. Crumb rubber is produced from ...

Canada has a wide range of landslide types reflecting the diverse geomorphic and geologic environments in the nation’s landscape. Many civil engineering projects are located on or near sloping ground, and thus are ...

With growing number of modern complex infrastructure, robust and autonomous condition assessment of large-scale structures under operational loads and extreme climatic events has garnered significant attention. Data-driven ...

Electrokinetics in geotechnical engineering is used to increase the shear strength of soft soils and the load carrying capacity of piles embedded in these soils. This is achieved by decreasing the water content of the soil ...

The recent increasing trend of sustainable construction and advancement in the manufacturing of engineered wood have made products such as glued-laminated timber (glulam) and cross-laminated timber (CLT) preferred building ...

Structural health monitoring (SHM) plays a key role towards condition assessment of large-scale civil structures using modern sensing technology. Once the rich vibration data is collected, important system information ...

Recent increased interest in the application of engineered-wood products, such as glued-laminated (glulam) timber and cross-laminated timber (CLT), in the Canadian building construction market has prompted amendments to ...

In the last few years, structural health monitoring has gained signifcant popularity to perform real-time condition assessment of civil structures. With the aid of mobile sensing network, movable wireless sensors have ...

In 2016, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) had recorded a total of 37,461 road-related mortalities within the United States alone. To alleviate the effects of road fatalities concerning economy and ...

With growing number of complex and slender structures worldwide, long-term structural health monitoring (SHM) has been intensively pursued to retrofit and control these structures under extreme climatic events. Modern ...
